VIJAYAWADA: City police arrested another key accused, Koganti Satyam, for his involvement in the alleged murder of industrialist Karanam Rahul on Monday. A team of personnel picked up Satyam, who was named as accused number two in the FIR, from Bengaluru and produced him before the first additional metropolitan magistrate for judicial remand on Tuesday.
Sources said they had issued summon notices under section 41 of CrPC to Satyam, but he did not appear before the investigating officer, and hence were forced to go through with the arrest.
Cops received information that Satyam was in Bengaluru and alerted the local police. Satyam was held at Bengaluru airport and produced before the Devanapalli magistrate initially, and after receiving a transit warrant, was brought to Vijayawada.
Cops have so far arrested the main accused Korada Vijay Kumar, who is believed to be the mastermind behind Rahul’s murder.
